GM engines and transmissions are generally wonderful. It’s the rest of the vehicle that is questionable. Occasionally the engineers pull a fast one on the bean-counters and get a really good car into the wild. Then it’s up to owners to maintain them.

Growing up the Old Man worked for GM. It didn’t matter if it was one of my or my sibs friends, my parents friends, or the Pope. If it wasn’t a GM product, you parked in the street. Weather be damned, that was the rule. Funny thing is that in Detroit our visitors may not have liked it, but there was no complaining.…

I’m a simple man. I see Kiseki, I upvote.

Pissed? I’d call the cops. They just stole your car.

I never budge on color for this reason. I did it once (of my own accord the salesman didn’t pressure me at all) and I regretted it. The right color combo exists somewhere, if the sales man wants the sale he’ll figure it out.

Motorcycle shop I worked at in Arizona. I was buying a 2003 TL1000R from them. I wanted the yellow and black, not the blue and white they had on the floor.

“It’s got a manual transmission.”

Two things can be true.

Since when do you play Whack a mole with a scalpel?

Simplest answer: Sex sells, and everyone knows it. I don’t mind it at all, but I do agree that XC2 has very over-the-top designs when compared to XC1 or any other Nintendo title (take a look at Dahlia from the same game if you wanted to see bigger boobs).

So Northern English = Cringe Accent? I actually loved having a game for once where everybody didn’t sound like Americans.

The PC version of CP2077, which is the only version that Steam cares about, is OK. Not great, not terrible. There’s a huge difference between “actually bad” and “not as good as it should have been”.

GET IN THE FUCKING BAG, NEBBY!

That’s the thing people who claim capitalism don’t understand about scalpers.

They’re not capitalists. They’re actively HARMING capitalism.

Each step in the supply chain is supposed to add some sort of value to the product to justify the price increase that each step creates.

Scalpers simply add an extra step,…

“Essentially every business resells their products,” said Jordan. “Tesco, for example, buys milk from farmers for 26p or so per litre and sells it on for upwards of 70p per litre. No one ever seems to complain to the extent as they are currently doing towards ourselves.”

The milk wholesaler adds value by making the milk much easier for consumers to get. It gets the milk from farms all over the place and moves it to a convenient marketplace. They earn their markup by adding value.

“Super Mario 3D World just doesn’t play as effortlessly as I’d expect of a Mario game, a feeling perhaps compounded by this re-release coming hot on the heels of last year’s Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a compilation which included some of Mario’s best 3D outings. Add in a wonky camera that only gives the player a bare…

Vampires gonna buy the hell out of that wine.

But like... they have backups. Paying the people/person doesn’t guarantee anything. They still have copies. If someone is shitty enough to steal it and extort you in the first place, I have no trust that they’d honor their word and not release the info after you pay them anyway.
